How can power over others be transformed to 'power with'? It is possible to transform many institutions to build societies with less predation and more freedom. These stretch from families and institutions of gender to the United Nations. Some societies, times and places have crime rates a hundred times higher than others.

In einer Zeit, in der digitale Technologien nahezu jeden Aspekt unseres Lebens durchdringen, ist es unerlässlich, die tieferen Zusammenhänge des digitalen Konsums zu verstehen. Erstmalig bietet dieses open access-Lehrbuch einen Wegweiser durch die vielfältigen Facetten der Digitalisierung des Konsums. Dabei verbindet es die Disziplinen der angewandten Informatik und Verbraucherwissenschaften. Die Leserinnen und Leser erhalten Einblick in die digitale Konsumlandschaft, ausgehend von der historischen Entwicklung des (digitalen) Konsums. Dazu vermittelt das Lehrbuch zentrale Grundbegriffe und Themen der Verbraucherinformatik und stellt verschiedene Konsumtheorien aus den Disziplinen Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Psychologie und Sozialwissenschaften vor. Praxisnahe Beispiele aus der Digitalisierung bieten Einsichten in unterschiedliche Perspektiven, während vertiefende Textboxen und Selbstreflexionsfragen das Verständnis fördern. Inhaltlich decken die Autorinnen und Autoren Themen von Datenschutz bis zur Sharing Economy ab und geben insbesondere auch praktische Ansätze für Themen wie Verbraucherschutz und Nachhaltigkeit mit auf den Weg. Die Anwendungs- und Querschnittsthemen der Verbraucherinformatik reichen von der Digitalisierung der Haushalte und Märkte über Fragen des digitalen Verbraucherschutzes bis hin zu zentralen gesellschaftlichen Fragestellungen rund um die Themen Fairness, Verantwortung und Nachhaltigkeit bei der Gestaltung von digitalen Technologien. Das Buch bietet einen umfassenden Überblick, der sowohl für Studierende der Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften als auch der angewandten Informatik von bedeutendem Wert ist. Die Herausgebenden Alexander Boden, Gunnar Stevens und Dirk Schreiber sind die Direktoren des Instituts für Verbraucherinformatik (IVI) an der Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg. Lena Recki und Paul Bossauer sind die Geschäftsführer:innen des IVI. .

This open access book deals with cultural and philosophical aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) and pleads for a “digital humanism”. This term is beginning to be en vogue everywhere. Due to a growing discontentment with the way digitalization is being used in the world, particularly formulated by former heroes of Internet, social media and search engine companies, philosophical as well as industrial thought leaders begin to plead for a humane use of digital tools. Yet the term “digital humanism” is a particular terminology that lacks a sound conceptual and philosophical basis and needs clarification still – and this gap is exactly filled by this book. It propagates a vision of society in which digitization is used to strengthen human self-determination, autonomy and dignity and whose time has come to be propagated throughout the world. The advantage of this book is that it is philosophically sound and yet written in a way that will make it accessible for everybody interested in the subject. Every chapters begins with a film scene illustrating a precise philosophical problem with AI and how we look at it – making the book not only readable, but even entertaining. And after having read the book the reader will have a clear vision of what it means to live in a world where digitization and AI are central technologies for a better and more humane civilization.

This book focuses on the progress in modern energy processes, systems and equipment. Since the beginning of humankind, energy has been the most important need for each human and living being. Thus, the development of different ways of energy conversion that can be applied to cover growing energy needs has become a crucial challenge for scientists and engineers around the world, making the power industry, in which operation is based on subsequent energy conversion processes, one of the most important fields of the local, national, and global economy today. Progress in precise description, modeling, and optimization of physical phenomena related to the energy conversion processes bounded to large and dispersed power systems is a key research and development field of the economy.
